The Langham, Custom House: A New Chapter in Riverside Luxury

Bangkok is preparing to welcome an exciting new luxury address. Opening on 20 December 2026, The Langham, Custom House, Bangkok will bring renewed life to one of the city’s historic landmarks, combining heritage architecture with contemporary elegance on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

A landmark reimagined

Originally built in 1888, the historic Custom House complex is being transformed into an intimate riverside retreat, where meticulously restored heritage buildings sit alongside a striking contemporary wing inspired by the curves of the Chao Phraya River. The restored buildings form the hotel’s social heart, while the new wing is dedicated to stays and wellbeing.

The result promises a distinctive sense of place, bringing together Bangkok’s rich history and The Langham’s signature “British heart, Asian soul” approach to hospitality.

Intimate luxury by the river

With just 75 rooms and suites, The Langham, Custom House, Bangkok is an intimate retreat on the river’s edge. Thoughtfully designed interiors, river views and refined details create a tranquil sanctuary from Bangkok’s vibrant streets.

For a more private retreat, the Pool Terrace Collection pairs generous interiors with a private outdoor terrace and plunge pool, creating an inviting space to unwind between city explorations.

Dining will be another highlight, with T’ang Court bringing the celebrated Cantonese cuisine of its three Michelin-starred Hong Kong counterpart to Bangkok. Guests can also look forward to The Langham’s signature Afternoon Tea, riverside cocktails at the Riverfront Bar, set within the historic Southern Building, and restorative treatments at Chuan Spa.

Discover Bangkok from a new perspective

Set in the historic Bang Rak district, the hotel offers a compelling base from which to explore Bangkok’s cultural heritage, vibrant dining scene and riverside neighbourhoods. Whether discovering the city for the first time or returning to experience it differently, guests can enjoy a stay that connects them to Bangkok’s past while embracing its contemporary energy.
